This whole thread is like getting an advance copy of Cat Marnell's autobiography.

You joke, but Barry Vermeer is killing it at the moment. He can afford a real camera!

This gif! I am desperate to know the context.

Lindyyyyyyy! I'm freakin' out here.

Oh, Tom. In my mind, you have the physical capacity to do anything.

I haven't even started watching it yet. Something about hours and hours of TV where all the men are indistinguishably beardy? And yet I know I'll end up watching it in the end, because Peter Dinklage and Natalia Tena and Charles Dance and Aiden Gillen and Harry Lloyd and Sibel Kekilli and David Bradley and (soon)…

I was expecting this comment thread to be incredibly sneery - discussing Keira Knightley in the UK always seems to devolve into a bitch-off - but am heartened that other people seem to love her as much as I do. She's badass.

Quick, put it out with Diet Coke! Nothing can go wrong there!

If it comes back on - they occasionally do special screenings of it at some cinemas - you should enjoy the Danny Boyle-directed 2011 stage version starring Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes.

Sudden, unheralded, complete self-awareness.

I can't read that without singing "Sponge-bob Squaaare-pants!" at the end.

All I know about her is that she famously gets around (which is good), but she cheated on her boyfriend (which is bad), but having said that it was only a Kardashian (which is good)... anyway I think the point is the frogurt contains potassium benzoate.

Every time some new 50SOG casting is announced, I go onto the fansites to see what they're saying. Current source of fury: Rita Ora is COMPLETELY THE WRONG HEIGHT to play Mia and this is a vital, meaningful part of her character which cannot be disguised on screen at all. They never disappoint.

Yeah, but they're reading from the American Journal of Shit That Backs Up Your Pre-Existing Prejudices. The peer review there is tight.
